On Monday evening, the number of documents available in the DocumentCloud public catalog passed one million. All told, the number of public pages now exceeds 13 million.

These public documents — plus another 1.4 million private documents in our database — represent a lot of your hard work. Often, they’re the result of hours of dogged reporting, persistent requests to government agencies, the scraping of websites, and a determination to treat “no” as an unacceptable answer.

It’s a moment to celebrate. We at DocumentCloud and Investigative Reporters and Editors applaud you. We’re grateful both for your reporting that shines a light and for what, collectively, you’re building along with us. Thank you.
